I've been spending some time driving the HM L78 and working out a few small issues.

First.................put the Muncie shifter on the shelf! Found a nice older Hurst...........almost N.O.S.!

Secondly...............the muffler was just junk. It sounded horrible and was not very enjoyable to drive. I was hesitant due to the muffler being original (IMO) and was in fear of not being able to reuse the original pipes, hangers, and clamps.

After consulting with one of my customers, he felt he could easily save everything I wanted to, but would have to sacrifice the muffler. Sooooooooooo........off it went.





And the original muffler. If anyone would like to detail pics, let me know.











Thanks to Terry and Bill at Lake &amp; Country Tire!

Sounds reeeeeally good now!
